ARMAAN KOHLI CASE: PROOF OF ILLICIT TRAFFICKING OF DRUGS | 23 October, 2021

A special NDPS court has said that prima facie, it transpires that Armaan Kohli was well-connected with the co-accused pertaining to illicit trafficking of drugs. It added that although investigations were at a nascent stage, chats submitted by the prosecution, if corroborated with the bank transactions, matched approximately with the figures in the transactions.

The court held that it was evident, stringent sections of the NDPS Act were duly invoked pursuant to the yesteryear actor’s involvement in financing illicit trafficking and harbouring offenders.

While the court rejected the bail plea on October 14, the detailed order copy was made available on October 21. Armaan was arrested in August. The court said, Armaan could not explain the purpose of possessing such contraband (1.2 grams of MD) which was recovered from his house, and the financial transactions.
